Hargraves Institute is a membership based organisation promoting shared knowledge amongst members in a non-competitive environment. Hargraves uses collaboration and collective wisdom to address issues raised by members.
Our current program includes Innovation, Leadership and Sustainability. These programs reflect the diversity of Hargraves' membership, the individuals within those memberships, and the core issues of each membership.
Programs, events and user groups are developed in consultation with members to meet member needs. Our comprehensive agenda includes our National Forum; training in innovation via TRIZ, 123 Innovate©, and Business Innovation Workshops; and Leadership.
The premier event on the Hargraves calendar is our annual conference Innovation A Contemporary Perspective which seeks to introduce new thinking to Australia by showcasing a variety of speakers and member innovation case studies, and aims to address the needs of a diverse membership.
